East Brisbane Norman Park

Norman Park and East Brisbane are neighbouring areas with distinct housing and financial profiles. Norman Park is more family-oriented, with 19.1% of its population being children under 15 and a higher share of separate houses at 68.9%. It is also wealthier, with 45.8% of households earning $3,000 or more a week. In contrast, East Brisbane has a much higher proportion of renters at 56.1% and more people living alone. It is also more diverse, with a higher share of recent overseas arrivals at 27.1% and more people using a language other than English at home.

Daily life in both places is very similar, as almost every home in both areas is within a 10-minute walk of public transport. They also share similar levels of full-time employment and a nearly identical share of volunteers. While East Brisbane has more frequent public transport departures and better access to groceries and health services, Norman Park has seen a more significant gap grow in typical household incomes, which are now well higher than those in East Brisbane.
